Morning all. Thanks for the warm welcome guys 
A lot of positivity in here!
Glad and relieved to be waking up fresh this Sunday morning. Could have easily not been the case believe me.
Hi Delilah, my sober date was July 2nd so I suppose the 4 month date would be Nov 2nd. Almost there! The big one will be getting past 5 months as I have never done this before.
Another 24 and more.

Good morning, afternoon and evening!
5:58 am here in Maryland. I was going to sleep in until 5:45 but my body had other plans (awake at 5:15.) Oh well, it gives me time to get some things done, like a breathing exercise/meditation.
I have been feeling pretty good these last few days- the kids are still "out of control" but I am getting a better handle on disciplining them without shouting. I still yelled a bit last night but it was nothing like before. I am able to react camly 3 out of 4 times now and that is what they need. Still, I feel so responsible for their behavior and like I have to undo these last 6 months of negativity. We went to my parent's house last night and they were fighting over everything and hitting/kicking each other. My 6 year old got mad and hit me as well, in front of everyone. Here comes the stares and judgements- I can feel it and then my sister steps in to discipline him (calmly) which makes it look like I am passive in my parenting. I am not but I do sort of freeze when all eyes are on me. I need to talk to my husband about this.
I don't know what to do anymore- I just want to fix all of these issues and they are slowly changing but it's such an exhausting process.
Anyway, happy to be sober and looking forward to my 6 month mark coming up next week.

Good morning all, it's 6:46am here in Mississauga. Another 24 please and thx!
My son woke me up pretty early this morning, so instead of going back to bed we're cuddling on the couch, me with coffee and him with milk and cartoons.
Later this morning it's pipe drumming practice and then work. Hopefully an AA meeting in the evening.

6:25am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
24 for me, and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

The runners were divided into heats based on their pace for a 2 mile race. She was put in the 13:30-14:40 group. She ended up running a 13:16 race, which was a pace of 6:38 per mile, and came in third in her heat. She raced against 9-12 graders, which was awesome. Her previous best race was when she ran a 6:51 pace for 1.65 miles, every other race she has had slightly over a seven minute pace.
I know I'm bragging a little, but I was so excited for her to have such a great race after the debacle at her meet on Wednesday. She is heading into the end of the season, and league finals strong!
Hope everyone in 24 hour land had a great day!!
